Posted: 5/17/2006 1:40:49 AM | Im sorry to hear about that but some people cannot accept who they are or they let thier precieved lack of attractiveness keep them from being honest.Beauty is indeed in the eyes of the beholder.I have no pics posted but I will. And im going to meet someone from here who interested in me and just not my pics.Please dont let this issue stop you from moving towards another date.Because lets face it you may or may not meet the right person on line but then again you never know | |

Posted: 5/18/2006 1:43:58 AM | When I started n here I did not post a pic, had never been on a dating site and thought I would weed out the shallow. I had not ONE piece of mail.
The first day I put one up, 8 people wrote.Still have not entirely decided how I feel. I have been very intrigued by some people with no picture. But my number one concern is that they are cheaters who do not want to be identified(this did not apply to me, but was a major reason for being fair and putting the pic up). the other reaon was that I got no mail... | |

Posted: 5/18/2006 2:21:46 AM | | Not yet, but I tend to trust my instincts as well. However, I wish more women would refrain from asking for one, because without bias, I will not give one do to my privacy issue of my job, very risky. And those who are many out there who have ignored me, are missing out on a hell of a man both emotionally and physically speaking. Thanks. | |

Posted: 5/18/2006 11:47:05 AM | I don't even talk to men that don't have a photo, or can't produce one fast. "I don't have a camera or a scanner". HA! How hard is it to find someone with one of those. It's the millenium guys..get with it!
If there's a reason you can't post your picture on the net, say because of your employement, I understand, but you won't be meeting me, and good luck with that. | |

Posted: 5/19/2006 12:06:54 PM | | I talk to people that dont have pis as well like I said, to but to meet someone for coffee or whatever, and they know what you look like but they know what you look like, gives me the creeps! It has nothing to do with being stuck up or anything of that nature, if your willing to meet I think it's best to see who your meeting, and the one's that don't put a pic on here, yes they have there reasons job etc, but dosen't mean that can't send you one in a private message NO? | |

Posted: 5/19/2006 12:26:44 PM | Sorry to hear that ironman33,
My reason was more that they could be there just watching you or follow you home, and could be some nut or something, if you seem a pic at least you would have one leg to stand on if something would happen.
But your reason is a good one tooooooooooo  | |

Posted: 5/19/2006 12:41:37 PM | | I've also met a few men without pictures from this site and another, and though there was no physical attraction, good friendships developed and to this day we are still friends. We chat periodically on msn and on here. Like you said, what it comes down to is, picture or no picture, there has to be a connection and you can only find that out when you meet the person, it would just be nice if people could be honest and not play games. If you plan on meeting... then meet... don't stand them up... it only takes a couple of minutes to type a quick email or make a quick call saying "sorry can't make it". If there is no spark.. be honest with them... tell them ...gently without malice... then move on or if there is no spark yet there is a bond... well we can never have enough friends. I like to a photo so that I can recognize them when we meet..... | |

bosslady on 3/28/2005 5  11 PM Subject: Has anyone been brave enough to meet someone with no pic at all? Message: About a month ago I got mail from a guy from POF that I thought was cute...so I responded with my msn even with no pic on his profile....something I rarely do. For me a picture is about familiarity ...Anyway..he was even better on msn....smart....funny and intriguing. When speaking about his looks he said "don't worry I am not ugly" and I asked him if having no pic on his profile was an attempt to weed out the shallow people! lol He said yes..that was 80 % of it and the other part had to do with keeping a low profile for his work (he is a private pilot) Now let me just say that my instincts online have turned out to be very good...no bad experiences when meeting people at all...so when he asked me to meet hiim for coffee the next day, I agreed. There were no warning bells at all. I knew from the conversation that no matter what his looks we would have a laugh and a good time. So to make a long story short..we met and he was hot! Not pretty boy movie star looks but totally my type! So coffee turned into lunch turned into an all day date I was just curious to know if anyone else had ever met anyone without ever seeing a picture and how it turned out??
Hey, you meet almost EVERYBODY in real life without seeing photos first, it's cool | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 7:26:51 AM | Absolutely, the best kind. Ten wonderful months ago, at Paneras for breakfast, I met a man who, like I, is a high profile person in the community and did not want a picture on the Internet. Imagine the student's reaction if they found a school administrator picture on the Internet looking for a date!! In my opinion, not seeing a picture, one chooses to meet another based on more concrete things than looks which are only skin deep. His reaction to me in an email asking to see me again was "enjoyed your company and to say you are not too hard to look at is an understatement." The feeling is mutual. He is a national figure. We chose to meet each other based on interest in healthy foods, exercise, interests, education level, ability to express oneself in writing, goals, wit, humor and it has been the most exciting,rewarding time of my life. I believe I speak for him too. We are in our early 60's. We are together much of every week and enjoy every minute and often speak of our first 'electric' meeting. We seldom watch TV and often talk until the wee hours of the morning. I truly found someone based on values, goals and interests and yes, charisma.
Before that, I had arranged to meet several men who did have pictures. One a newspaper man who had a list of obnoxious questions and wanted to replace his deceased wife ASAP. Another who wanted a 'mate' to go around the world on his newly built boat, another who had the biggest beer belly I have ever seen and 2 teeth missing and so on. Another who used such bad language and had a terrible mismatch of clothes that I knew immediately that we were not a match, and another who wanted to know if I wanted him for dessert on our first meeting. Try my method. It might prove to be that tiger or tigress that you are looking for. | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 10:01:13 AM | | I would take a chance and meet someone without first seeing a picture because I believe the words each person writes gives a image of who you are and then go have coffee or an ice mocha at a coffee shop and sit and talk. Best way to know someone is to really meet them and go from there..... | |

Posted: 5/20/2006 6:31:07 PM | | I have a friend i met on one site and he didnt have a pic posted in there... but just the way he wrote to me, make me answered him back, in my case i am looking for friends and i am not the one who picks me friends for the way they just look like. Also who can say the pics posted in a profile are from the real one, at least you can see the person in webcam | |

Posted: 5/22/2006 7:05:11 AM | | Then no pic thing is ok but i usually don't contact them first.Yes I have met someone from POF with no pic.He seemed very sweet on the computer and enjoyed reading his profile and liked talking to him.When we met it turned out that he was very attractive and a sweet talker which wasn't that bad. We had a great day and decided that we would meet again real soon. We have met numerous times and are friends.He is not on here anymore but we still see each other when our work schedules don't conflict.Glad that I took the risk and met him as I found a great friend | |

Posted: 5/23/2006 5:37:32 PM | If the person seemed fun and interesting, I think I'd go meet them, and if they weren't at all as they described I'd RUN FOR MY LIFE!
My buddy told actually told me the story of his online dating experiences and how the girl wouldn't send him a picture, then went to the bar, couldn't find her, called her cell, and well, he ran for his life lol. | |

Posted: 5/29/2006 12:57:45 PM | Yes, many times.
Some have been honest, and some have not. Many have been spectacularly nice people
and one in particular is a friend that I hope will always be in my life.
Pretty faces and cool bodies are nice to see, but are not enough to make a relationship
with, in my experience.
There is something else that neither fits into words nor into pictures that must be there
for both people or the connection doesn't happen.
It doesn't travel over the phone either - because someone with the loveliest voice and
kindest words may turn out to be another very pleasant acquaintance once we've actually
met in person.
I have suggested this many times before, and I wonder sometimes why it is so hard for
folks to see it this way - that places such as this are for greeting and exchanging facts;
but in order to 'get' what someone is about it is unavoidable that we must meet face to
face and spend some time together, and share who we are and what we are about.
Best Wishes,

Posted: 5/29/2006 1:56:19 PM | Once when I was 17.....
I met a boy from Michigan in a chatroom. His name was balltongue, which I really digged because I was a big korn fan then, so we talked for about 5 months, online and on the telephone, but neither of us had webcams, and I don't really remember why we didn't just mail each other pictures, but we didn't. Everything else seemed so perfect.
He hopped a Greyhound, and 4 days later I met him at the bus stop. Though we did describe ourselves accurately; the imagination is only so accurate. We spent the day picking wildflowers and walking all over town talking as friends. We didn't even kiss. We were honest enough with eachother to see that it wasn't going to work as anything further. Too many miles and differences.
I still think of him once in a while, and I still have a couple photos we took together. Last I heard he met a girl, and had a couple babies. I'm happy for him.
Hard to believe that was a decade ago. | |

Posted: 5/29/2006 2:55:20 PM | Yea i have met a few pepole that don't have pic's up
Turned out to be a total desature.
to be totaly fair and honest i'm sure they have good reason's why they don't have a pic up.
In my meeting with these pepole they were not how they discribe them selfs to me.
couldn't figure out why they would streach the truth, when they knew we were going to meet.in all fair play i feel no pic no conversation. because truely you don't know to whom your realy talking to. that dosen't
mean there are not honest pepole out there. just be carefull. | |

Posted: 5/29/2006 3:27:27 PM | | I met 2 men over the years that didn't have pictures, they have to be totally exceptional personality-wise for me to even bother with taking the time to talk...nowadays I dont' talk to anyone who doesn't provide a picture. The two that I met up with (years back) were great, in fact one became my last (ex) husband lol! So I've had two positive experiences with the no pic having genre...but I don't do that anymore... with all the modern access to getting digital pix, there is really no excuse these days not to have a pic to share!!!! | |
